We were still in the middle of the forest. "What ya' thinking about?" asked Cassy. "Huh?! No! Nothing" I lied. I was still thinking about the truth, that the heart of the Phoenix jewel, or wand, as everybody knew it, wasn't powerful enough to make me powerful enough to destroy my twin sister, or my aunt by myself. But as I said before, I can't ruin Cassandra's life, so I decided not to tell her and I feel horrible because we've never had any secrets before. On our way to the castle, we stumbled upon Dave and Gabe, they're brothers. Dave's 20-old, and Gabe's 18. Dave had a crush on me. And Gabe had a crush on Cassandra. We were really good friends, Cassy and I loved them back, but our families wanted us to marry some princes... FYI we always knew about their crushes, but we decided not to tell them... We said hi, and kept moving. You could see, that they actually wanted to chat, but we were in a really big hurry. I slipped on my dress and heels, hid my bow and arrow, hunter suit, and my dagger, for we had arrived, our home, the castle."How are we going to sneak past security??" Asked Cassy. "It's kinda' my home... I doubt they remember you as the "thief", that was six years ago! Besides, YOU LIVE HERE!!" I told her. "I know, I know; but ever since I robbed the castle, well, the treasure actually, I've been scared someday your parents... you know change your mind, that's why I'm so afraid of them, I can't pass by security without getting like horrible visions, what if someday you kick me out, or what if someday they remember me, what if someday they forget I live here and they come after me!!" She said. I told her to calm down, anyways it's not gonna happen! SHE'S MA BFF!!!!! That's how we met actually. Cassandra had stolen some of the treasure, when she was around 11-old... Security was about to lock her up, and I stopped them. It was the day before my 15th birthday. Cassy told me her family was poor and that she had only stolen the treasure because she knew how much value it had. I spoke to my parents, and I asked them as a birthday present if instead of giving me whatever they were going to give me, they could offer a job in the Royal Court to Cassandra's family, and let her live with me in the castle. We ran to my room where I had a chest with the Heart of the Phoenix wand in it. I opened my diary, and followed step by step precisely...
A cup of fairy dust
A mermaid's tear
A gallon of phoenix blood
A hint of fire
1/2 cup of elixir
And 5 jewels from the magic pond
The exact mix. It was provided by lord Kingsley AKA my great- grandfather. "Just pour the thing into the wand!" Said Cassandra. I did it, I had woken up the Heart of the Phoenix. The room exploded leaving me in a coma, and taking Cassy's life away.
